Undertale

Author: Fox, Toby
This title is one of the biggest arguments for the support of indie developers. Made by a single man, it managed to be so inventive that it beat many triple-A games in sales. It's clear why. Undertale is a lovingly crafted game with a simplistic visual style only adds more emotion to the characters and scenes contained in it. It's RPG elements are frequently subverted with humor, leaving you consistently unsure of what to expect, and making the moments of sadness even more impactful. The story itself is a multi-faceted and branching one, a journey through underground catacombs that is both mystery and coming of age. It adapts to not just your choices but the way you play, yet remains unpredictable. Complimented by a NES-inspired soundtrack, its presents an unsurpassed blend of RPG and comedy.
